I got machine info from Bob Mahoney and Ron Hoffman.  They each have
an R4400 Indy, one with Indy graphics, the other GR3-XZ.  Ron said he
didn't know that 8.2 wouldn't support R4400, and had in fact recently
upgraded his machine to 64 MB RAM to be able to run 8.2.  This makes
me worried that we'll get complaints if we don't add support for it.

To enable support for it, I would need to generate the appropriate
pieces for the miniroot (install volume), the install server, and
also add a case to /srvd/usr/athena/lib/update/setup-swap-boot,
which untars the right miniroot stuff into the swap partition.

Bob
